The Word for the pulpit

And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself: how then shall his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then is the kingdom of God come upon you. Matthew 12: 26-28

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth.
But if we walk in the light, as he also is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his son cleanseth us from all sin.
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just, to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all iniquity. 1 John 1: 6-9

And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10: 28

Trumpeters of Mercy

The marang fruits look like a man talking through a microphone
First, take the log out of your own eye; then you will see clearly, so that you can remove the splinter from your brother's eye! -Matthew 7:5
The log and the splinter: which is of a bigger chunk?

Since clerical irreverence to the Holy Eucharist is the cause of the sprouting of new evils in our locality, what should a priest speak about in his homilies?

Because when you (note: this is addressed to the clergy) preach against "splinters," but you have a log to take out on first.

Have we returned to the Traditional Latin Mass which is the Ultimate Will of Heaven to set our place aright?

Not yet.

Should you preach against yourselves?

Of course, not.

Be silent, then, on those matters -- but busy your tongues on the Divine Mercy that is the Holy Eucharist.

Sinners are enraptured to hear God's Mercy -- as you, too, need this Great Mercy.

The sounds of the pulpits are not "clashing cymbals" but of Divine Love and Mercy.
If I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal. -1 Corinthians 13:1
